I haven't hit desperate yet thankfully.
You couldn't tell it from speaking with my kids though. They've both been on my ### about going to work LOL.
My son finally gave up, after I explained to him, my checking account didn't look anything like his
I'm like you, sitting on one (OTR). While I wait for another (local job) to pan out. Either way, I'll be working by the 1st. No biggy.
So unless the local job comes through soon. I will be harrassing everyone here, until the 1st.
I should have attended orientation last week. But SOME people, are slow about responding to past work history request. At least they gave me a good referance, and a clean DAC![]()

Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

Danc, what happened to your job?
-
We parted company just before Christmas.
Me and my load had a personality conflict. It wanted to be in GA on Christmas Eve. And I wanted to be home.
We both got where we were wanting to go.
Not to worry though. I got 1 solid offer, and a "hang tight" for couple of days. I'm hoping the hang tight works out, as it is a local job.
And I am truly enjoying sitting on my ###

I'm not worried, you will find something. Plus, I remember last year about this time you telling us that your finances were set up pretty good so I know that you will weather this downturn okay.

Well, thanks for asking anyway

My kids hate me now

Dad in small doses is okay. Dad in large doses, is irritating. -
I thought your daughter was getting married?

She is, in April. But she still comes by to visit or calls on a regular basis. Her wedding is taken care of, we just haven't told her that. And I'll be home for itleannamarie said: ↑I thought your daughter was getting married?Click to expand...

Moral of the story: Teach your kids about money. But never let your kids know exactly how much money you do or don't have. It can double the cost of the wedding
If this one doubled.

TruckerMike said: ↑I guess you don't realize they have to hire drivers with no experience is because their pay and working conditions are unacceptable for the thousands of experienced drivers out of work . In fact the conditions are unacceptable for the inexperienced drivers the hire who soon leave which is why they are always hiring . But don't let me scare you off .LadyBird said: ↑I hear ya, and appreciate you telling us some of the deception we can expect to see. The comment I was referring to is this one:
"Most (all?) will not hire you without recent experience"
Now, it sounds like I just took it out of context. But there are pleanty of companies out there that take people with no experience. Just gotta find em.Click to expand...
The people wasting money on drivers' schools could have fed their family for months and reduced a lot of debt with the money they blew to find themselves still out of work or being gone 2 -3 weeks at a time for a take home pay of $300 a week .Click to expand...1pissedoffdriver Thanks this.
